ACC wants 10 games plus 1 model
- Thread starter fsu939913
- Start date
Apparently Notre dame can win the ACC this yr..... They are a "complementary" team. Does UF typical play 8 or 9 conf games?
So basically you will be playing 1 more game with someone from the west conf? Ive heard one of the proposals for the ACC was creating a bubble and playing the same 5 teams twice but they might have moved on from that since we added ND
We won’t get rag dolled by UF the next time we play. We shall lose by about 13 points but it will be more competitive than the last 2 seasons
fsu939913,
ND has already scheduled 6 ACC games for 2020 - Wake Forest, Pitt, Clemson, Duke, Georgia Tech, & Louisville.
Clemson / ND (at ND) should be a decent game.
ND also has games scheduled with Arkansas, Wisconsin, & USC West.
Big 10 & Pac 12 have stated they will play conference games only, SEC has not yet stated what they plan to do.
Will ND add 2 more ACC games, to replace Wisconsin & USC West ?
If so, who do you think they will add ? .ND has 6 home games now, if they add will it be 1 home & 1 away game ?
As far as i know ND is "joining" the ACC this yr unofficially but officially. What i mean by that is ND can win the ACC this yr but dont have to stay next yr. I believe they will play a 10 game ACC schedule, it isnt finalized but this is what has been proposed
I have never understood why fans pay such deference to ND !
Fighting Irish about like the Dawgs - The last time Notre Dame won the college football championship was following 1988 season - 1989 Fiesta Bowl - Jan 2, 1989
But the search for a national championship continues on into its third decade in South Bend.

It was just released, we play at ND, clemson at home, and the Gators if the SEC approves as well..... Three beat downs in 1 yr coming right up.....minimum
Are you kidding me? Notre Dame's history much stronger than UGA's
Your new schedule is pretty tough.
Home: Clemson, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Pitt, Virginia, Florida
Away: Duke, Louisville, Miami (FL), NC State, Notre Dame
I can see you going 2-4 at home, beating Tech and Pitt, and 2-3 on the road, beating Duke and Louisville. 4-7 overall. With the old schedule I thought 7-5 was doable, but you lost Samford, West Va, Boise and Wake. I thought there were at least 3 wins in that group.
Well, maybe you can beat UNC, even with them having that hotshot QB. So 5-6 could happen, but I truly see that as the best possible outcome. I don't see a single sure win in that group. Yes, Tech and NC State were pretty bad last year, but Tech is revamping to a new offensive style and should be improved in year 2, and NC State, well, FSU has struggled in road games there even when big favorites. Go something like 2-9 and Norvelle might find himself scalped.
Having said that, I am not looking forward to seeing what a 10 game SEC schedule might look like for us. Murderer's row for sure.
I'm happy that we'll be playing football but I don't understand why we don't play a regular schedule
Paco,
Agree with you that ND's history. stronger than the Dawgs; but in the last 30 years they, like the Dawgs, have done nothing to merit their intense
self aggrandizement.
CFB has become what have you done lately !
Therefor we have -
11,532 days since Irish won a Nattie
14,821 days since Dawgs won a Nattie
LG89,
New Coach; New System; same old QB, no depth - no kidding !
Can't wait to watch FSU's season unfold !
Just hope we have a season & that SEC approves the plus 1 part of it- USC Least probably could do without the plus 1.
SEC teams who don't have OOC instate rivalry games can probably find a team to use as a tune up.
UAB could be in line for some big pay days with Auburn & Bama
SEC looking at 10 Conf games ONLY right now. Teams would just pick up their next two scheduled oppo Division games. For UF that would be TAMU & Bama. Would suck but it is what it is.
Notre Dame's schedule actually got EASIER this year by playing an ACC schedule.

Yea we got shafted, no wake forest, BC, or Syracuse. We definitely lose 4 or 5 (Clemson, UNC, Florida, Miami, ND) and depending on how much Norvell can hide slim, probably 1 or 2 more. Gunna be another rough one. Hopefully the schedule sets up to where we play ND, Clemson, and Florida all in November and then corona strikes in a big way cancelling all the games.
And Princeton has more NC's that either/both....
At some point, ancient history ceases to matter imo...
Return to normal classes, normal stadium, and a normal season schedule,,, or just shut down Gator sports permanently and remain in our basements with creepy-Joe.
No FSU also. We dropped our cupcake games in FSU and the other 2 non conference games and will likely be picking up Texas A&M and Bama. Schedule just got much much tougher.
Seminoles and Gators should play annually. It is a big deal not just to the state, nor even to the South, but to CFB.
The SEC brass could care less about the history and the long-time annual rivalry games in the East. Florida-FSU, Kentucky-Louisville, Georgia-Ga Tech, SoCar-Clemson. All they care about is Alabama and, to a lesser extent, Auburn.
Is it just a myth that the state of Florida requires by law for FSU and Florida to play?
I know we would get our asses kicked this year but state law makers should step in again and make this happen.
Yes. LeRoy Collins threatened to make it so, and the pressure resulted in an agreement.
See y'all in 2021!
Well I don't think it makes any sense.
it's safer for the ACC-SEC rivalries to play than it is for us to play TAMU.
but whatever.
if Mullen wins 10 games this year that would be something.

Paco,
Curious, are the addition of Bama & aTm guesses on your part or inside info (if you can say) ?
If this worst case scenario takes place how does that impact our 2021 (Bama at BHG) & 2022 (aTm at Kyle Field) schedules ?
Do we just suck it up this year & play them again next two years ?
If so, adding Bama & aTm to UGA & LSU (4 top 10 teams ?) means we are screwed for this year.
Your thoughts appreciated.
Those are the next two on the rotation. We would have picked them up in 21 and 22. Then they likely roll the rotation forward two years. moving Arkansas up to 2021 from 2023, etc.
That's the easiest thing for them to do, because that way there is no concern about the schedule. No worries about accidentally putting the same team on a schedule twice, or giving two away games to one and two home games to another.
What blows is this was going to be the first time in a while that Georgia actually had a tougher SEC slate than us, but where we will pick up Bama and TAMU, they will be getting Arkansas and Mississippi State.
This actually works out great for us but im interested to see u guys play jimbo and bama again.
